Army of Lawyers: Difference between revisions

Line 32:

* In ''[[Civilization|Call To Power]]'' and its sequel, once you develop to the Modern Era, you can train Lawyers and Corporate Branches to wage economic warfare on your enemies. Ordinary army-units are mostly helpless against them, too - only Lawyers can fight Lawyers. And they're really, really effective. This means that unless it ends before you develop that far, a multiplayer match will inevitably devolve into an earth-shattering confrontation between two competing armies of briefcase-wielding, suit-wearing lawyers (and corporate branches).

* ''[[Frontier: First Encounters]]'' has a mission dealing with these:

'''M.C.S''': The W'rits maintained that [[Mega Corp|Rockforth]], in the shape of Thompson Thompsonson, CEO of Yorksville Hospitality Inc. and manager of the Pink Flamingo, had 'persuaded' Dien W'rit to write an entirely new Will (in the company of two Rockforth Lawyers)

'''M.C.S''': and then, effectively, [[Shark Pool|fed him to the alligators]]. The interesting aspect of all this, from a legal point of view is that the libel action has been heard independently of the murder trial and has been decided before it.

'''M.C.S''': In the judges' opinion, Thompsonson is innocent until proven guilty and therefore any assertions made before the trial constitute libel. The W'rits are, not surprisingly, contesting the decision with the full support of the legal establishment

'''M.C.S''': who point out that if this sets a precedent, it will be impossible to try anybody under Independent Systems Law because the mere act of bringing a case to court will, in and of itself, constitute an act of libel.

'''message board''': "RENOVATION REQUIRED"

'''employer''': The renovation committee of the Friends of Dien W'rit require structural alterations to the Rockforth Legal Academy. Highest prices paid.

'''PC''': What needs to be done?

'''employer''': The academy requries to be razed to the ground. [[Talk to the Fist|We think that a number of missiles fired from a fast-moving warship might do the trick.]] }}
